Ed Cooley and Providence

[Briancuse]

Im not saying he will by any means. I’m saying he will be a name that is considered for the job

Kind of like Jessica Alba is in consideration for my future wife.

Just stop. I believe she is married. I have strong doubts that she would leave her husband for you. I put the odds at best at 45%

I was someone who thought we should consider Zags assistant Tommy Lloyd as a potential successor to JB. But then he went and got the Arizona job and is crushing it there. I just can’t imagine Few being a realistic possibility for Syracuse to land.

Has called 3 time outs before the first tv timeout in the second half.

I’ve never seen that before.

PC is getting manhandled by Creighton. 52-27…..it was tied at 25.

There may not be a more overrated team in America than Providence

They and Wisconsin have won a crazy number of close games

USC pretty close. Like ten-twelve wins by less than six points

Meh- their metrics aren't that great. I think they were 4 or even 5 seed material anyways.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Goodine getting some run and is very active. Knocked down a couple foul shots and just hit a long three. He’s stronger. His body has matured quite a bit.

Their efficiency numbers are pretty mediocre. They’re vastly overrated. But Cooley is a really good coach. He’s done wonders with that program.

 

[samspann1]

Kaluma looked good for Creighton.

And Syracuse ain't a half hour or so from the ocean.

Sometimes, like in 1938, the ocean comes to you

Not good enough for Syracuse. We want the guy failing at Washington.

Really? I don't remember anyone who said Ed Cooley wasn't good enough for Syracuse.

This.

Just that there’s nearly zero chance he ever leaves Providence.

Hope someone lets the foxy lady know Rick is in town.

Positioning for future gig?

Gotta say this about the guy...no one gets more out of the talent he has.
Back at Providence he took a team with one great shooting guard (Billy Donovan) and a bunch of bangers to the Final 4.

One of the best coaches ever. Forget all the off-court shenanigans- on the bench he’s a maestro.
Again, if we had the cujones to hire him for a career-ending 5-year stint, we’d be Top 10 in 2 yrs. JMHO

And on top of it, he pretty much turned Donovan into the player he was. Pitino took the job before his JR year, at which point he had been a bench player averaging like 3 points his first 2 years. The way I remember it, he wanted to transfer, Pitino made some calls, but nobody would take him. He said we're stuck with each other, so lets get you in the best shape of your life and see what happens.

JB to John Wallace and a bunch of other guys to a FF.
